Between mountains and seas

Chapter 116 During the Disappearance

Regarding the use of the final pen, Qi Tongmin actually felt that there was nothing to blame for Yang Shuming's approach.

The final pen is just a piece of bone of the final beast, and divination is possible only by the power of finality contained in the bone, as well as the fortune-teller's own ability.

But after all, it is dead, and the abilities left in a piece of animal bone have nowhere to be replenished, and a little bit is used less.It is reflected in the appearance of the ending pen, that is, every time it is used, there will be an extra crack on the ending pen, and the more important the divination is, the more energy will be consumed, and the deeper and longer the crack will appear .Until one day the power is exhausted, the pen will be completely shattered and can no longer be used.

The ending pen that is now stored in the warehouse of the special affairs department looks dilapidated, and Qi Tongmin would never agree to use it if there is no major incident.That is to say, if he is the one who decides now, he will not agree to use the final pen to find Huo Qing and Shao Jingxing. After all—to put it a little cruelly, there are not many special affairs personnel who disappeared in the world of mountains and seas before. , if everyone wants to use the final pen, the final pen will be finished long ago.

After all, this was originally the duty of the operatives of the Special Affairs Division, and even Qi Tongmin himself was always ready to die in the battle against the alien beast.

However, in the past, if someone disappeared, the Special Affairs Division would organize personnel to rescue them, and if they chased them from the place where the missing person entered the world of mountains and seas, as long as he had not died under the claws of strange beasts, there was still a high possibility of finding him .Especially after being equipped with boundary breakers in recent years, the number of disappearances has also decreased accordingly.

But the problem is that the disappearance of Huo Qing and Shao Jingxing this time is different from before—according to Huang Yu's report, they jumped off the cliff of Cabinet Mountain and disappeared. Later, the rescuers even took the risk of jumping a few times, but But they all fell safely to the bottom of the cliff, that is to say, they don't know where the two of them went...

This kind of situation has never happened before. These two people did not leave the cabinet mountain through the normal way. This may mean that there are still rules in the world of mountains and seas that they have not mastered, or - new changes have appeared .

In fact, Qi Tongmin knew that Gu Sheng's request to use the final brush was not only for Huo Qing and Shao Jingxing, but mainly for this "change".And Yang Shuming—to be honest, Qi Tongmin felt that this person was not very smart, and he really shouldn't object at this time.

Gu Sheng has always been gentle, and he is also very aware of the discipline of the special affairs department, and understands the importance of the final pen. Why did he directly propose to use the final pen this time? At least half of it is because the person who proposed the search plan It is Yang Shuming and the Gong Gong sect behind him!

If he was Yang Shuming—Qi Tongmin thought secretly, he would never refuse the same forcefully, but would submit an application to the higher authorities, who would reply.This kind of thing is inevitable, maybe everything has been investigated, and the answer using the final pen has not yet come down.

After all, he is a young man. He probably felt that Gu Sheng’s actions had shaken his authority—oh no, it was probably because he was afraid that Gu Sheng would suspend the plan and ruin the major affairs of the Gonggong faction, so he simply took the lead and never retreated a step. , Not even giving the upper body a chance to play games.

Really desperate.It's just that, if Huo Qing and Shao Jingxing really can't come back, Yang Shuming will have to bear all the responsibility for this matter. Even if there are people in his superiors, Gu Sheng and him, Qi Tongmin, are not completely rootless. Let him get out of the special affairs department, and never reach out to this system again!

A sneer appeared on the corner of Qi Tongmin's mouth.Wait a little longer, let Gu Sheng and Yang Shuming fight for a few more days, and it would be best if the entire special affairs department is mobilized, and he can make a move.The Gonggong faction wants to join the special affairs department, how can it be so easy!

However, where did Huo Qing and Shao Jingxing go?Thinking of this, Qi Tongmin couldn't help but frowned.It is said that in the outer area of ​​Shanhai World, he has confidence in Huo Qing, and with Shao Jingxing's special ability, if the two of them can be together, there is no need to worry about many things—for example, the most worrisome thing in the past... The problem of supplies does not exist with Shao Jingxing. With him, he doesn't have to worry about running out of ammunition and food for many days in the world of mountains and seas.

However, what I am most afraid of is that new changes have appeared in the world of mountains and seas. Are the two of them really still in the outer region?

"Tong Min?" Seeing his frowning, Xie Fei couldn't help feeling a little worried, "Otherwise, you should go back to Corey..."

"Oh——" Qi Tongmin thought for a while, but still shook his head, "I'll accompany you to the examination first." He still doesn't want to show up in the department now, if he gets involved in the quarrel between Gu Sheng and Yang Shuming now, It will be inconvenient for him to do it later, anyway, even if he goes back to Corey now, he can't do anything.

There are many people in the tertiary hospital at any time. Qi Tongmin registered and sat down on a chair with Xie Fei to wait.The two were talking in a low voice, when Qi Tongmin suddenly saw a man carrying a child coming from the other end of the corridor, and beside him was a doctor in a white coat, and they were talking with smiles on their faces.

Qi Tongmin's eyes narrowed suddenly, he recognized the man, it was Zhao Lianxing who entrusted him to find mermaid meat in the world of mountains and seas!

Zhao Lianxing, one of the proud people in the northern business field in recent years.Of course, how did he start his business and what method did he use to get proud of himself? Qi Tongmin didn't investigate very carefully. He only knows that he has a good reputation and can be regarded as a relatively "law-abiding" person in the business field. Three wives, just for the sake of having a son.

But in the final analysis, it is not illegal to want to have a son, and Zhao Lianxing also paid child support for the daughters he had with his two ex-wives, so he is not too badass, so Qi Tongmin accepted his commission.

Zhao Lianxing finally had a son when he was in his 40s. It is a pity that he has been socializing in the business field for many years. He has been deeply poisoned by tobacco and alcohol. In good health, but he just gave birth to a child with mental retardation.

This was a fatal blow to Zhao Lianxing.The pregnancy test clearly stated that the fetus was developing normally, but it turned out to be a mentally handicapped... This not only broke Zhao Lianxing's dream of carrying on the family line, but also provided a joke for his business rivals, so he kept this matter a secret, and secretly searched everywhere treatment.

However, mental retardation cannot be cured, at least not by modern medical methods.Especially this kind of congenital, the child's brain itself has no organic lesions, so there is no way to treat it.In the end, Zhao Lianxing chose to believe in the "unnatural" ability - mermaid meat.

Mermaids are addicted to eating, and it is the medicine to treat this disease.It's just that mermaids are no longer easy to catch, and it's even more difficult to bring back mermaid meat that has curative properties.Moreover, the medicinal effect of mermaid meat is also the ability obtained through the erosion and mutation of the power of mountains and seas. Although it can cure dementia after eating, it will inevitably bring some other effects. For example, the body will be eroded by the power of mountains and seas. Life expectancy may be relatively shortened.

However, this entrustment to Qi Tongmin was not completed, because Yuan Fei told him that they encountered other strange beasts before they found the mermaid in the world of mountains and seas. After spending three days in the world of mountains and seas, the food brought in had already Everything went bad, so I had to quit.

Afterwards, Yuan Fei was wanted by the Special Affairs Division, so he never entered the world of mountains and seas.

Zhao Lianxing's son, Qi Tongmin, of course, has also met him. The child is three years old. In fact, his facial features are very handsome, but because of his mental retardation, his eyes are dull, so he looks awkward no matter how he looks.But now the child Zhao Lianxing is holding is looking around nimbly with his black eyes, where is he still as stupid as before?

Qi Tongmin looked it over carefully and confirmed that this person was indeed Zhao Lianxing. Although he was not dressed in the usual brand-name style, he would not be mistaken.

So, is Zhao Lianxing hiding his identity and quietly bringing his son to the hospital?What is he here for?If the information he inquired is correct, the Zhao family usually goes to another private hospital, and the doctor there is responsible for his son's condition.

No!Qi Tongmin's eyes flickered, looking at the child's appearance, there was no illness, it looked no different from ordinary children.The child's illness—well?

So, Zhao Lianxing found another hospital to test the child's intelligence?It turned out to be pretty good apparently, which is why he was all smiles.So, how did the child suddenly return to normal?

Mermaid meat.The corners of Qi Tongmin's mouth were drawn into a tight straight line.If this kind of innate mental retardation is cured by modern medicine or suddenly heals on its own, it is simply impossible!There are not so many miracles in the world, and even miracles must have a basis.In the current situation, he could only think of one possibility, and that was that Zhao Lianxing had already obtained mermaid meat.

So where did this mermaid meat come from?Of course, it is also possible that Zhao Lianxing obtained it through other channels, but in Qi Tongmin's view, this possibility is extremely slim.So the most reasonable explanation is: Yuan Fei lied to him, saying that he didn't get the mermaid meat, but secretly gave the mermaid meat to Zhao Lianxing.

Obviously, Yuan Fei wanted to surpass him and take the credit for the mermaid meat to himself.It seems that he wants to go it alone.

Qi Tongmin exhaled slowly.Yuan Fei really changed.In the past few years, he felt that Yuan Fei's temperament became more and more paranoid, and he valued money more and more.Sure enough, now, it should be the arrest of the special affairs department that makes him feel uneasy, so he wants to find a way out by himself, right?

If Yuan Fei just wanted money, Qi Tongmin didn't mind very much.But the problem is that Yuan Fei and him have a common secret. If Yuan Fei is exposed, his secrets will also be exposed.That's why he used Yang Shuming and the Gonggong faction to draw the attention of the entire special affairs department to the world of mountains and seas, so that he could free up his hands to arrange a retreat for Yuan Fei.

Unfortunately, Yuan Fei didn't seem to believe him anymore.In other words, in Yuan Fei's view, the interests of the two of them are not the same. In this case, he has to think more about himself. What should he do if Yuan Fei is exposed?

Of course Zhao Lianxing didn't see Qi Tongmin.Just as Qi Tongmin guessed, he took his son to test his intelligence today. The reason why he didn't go to the private hospital he used to used was because he didn't want to let the doctor know—after all, the child was mentally handicapped last month, but now he is alive and well with normal intelligence. , This is too shocking.

If there is a way, Zhao Lianxing actually hopes to let his son take mermaid meat gradually, and heal it little by little.But according to Yuan Fei, the piece of mermaid meat cannot be kept fresh by refrigeration or other methods. Its medicinal effect comes entirely from the blood vessels that are still alive in it. Once the blood coagulates, the piece of mermaid meat will be "dead". , No matter how much you eat, it's useless.

Zhao Lianxing was also a little worried that his son's body would not be able to bear this way of eating, after all, he was too young.And he remembered that when Qi Tongmin took over his commission, he also said that mermaid meat might also have some side effects.But Yuan Fei said that nothing would happen, and also hinted that if he didn't want this piece of mermaid meat this time, he would never have another chance in the future.

In the end, Zhao Lianxing still gave the meat to his son, but he didn't see any adverse reactions from his son. Instead, he suddenly became smart after waking up. Mom and Dad called out affectionately and spoke fluently. They looked like ordinary children. .After he and his wife observed at home for a period of time in a pleasant surprise, they quietly brought him here for a physical examination today, and the result was that everything was normal, which is great.

In the future, he can also take his son out, so he doesn't have to hide it anymore!

Maybe good things come in pairs. Zhao Lianxing got into his car with his son in his arms, and then received a call from his assistant, reporting the good news to him: "The Blue Arrow Group is in chaos. It is said that their boss had a cerebral hemorrhage last night. It was not rescued."

"Blue Arrow" is Zhao Lianxing's biggest competitor at this stage. The boss of Blue Arrow is young and daring, bold and aggressive.So when the assistant reported it, it was inevitable that he would gloat a bit.

Zhao Lianxing's heart skipped a beat: "Hemorrhage? He's young..." How could someone in his early thirties have a hemorrhage?

"Cough!" The assistant disagreed, "Now these diseases are getting younger, socializing all day long and working overtime, and there are also cases of cerebral arteriosclerosis in the thirties. I heard that their boss has a sudden rupture of a large blood vessel, and there are still several places. .I heard that the hospital has issued a critical illness notice, which is more ominous."

As the assistant said, he couldn't help thinking that he was also in his early thirties, and he was also exhausted from socializing and working overtime every day. At this age, the hairline moved back obviously. He couldn't help feeling a little nervous for a while, and decided to take some time to go to the hospital for a visit. own blood vessels.

Zhao Lianxing's heart skipped a beat.After he talked with Yuan Fei, he mentioned several names to him, and the first one was Lan Jian, the boss, Lan Heng.Then, after a while, Lan Heng... Could it be a coincidence?

Zhao Lianxing was thinking about it when he heard a beep on the phone, and a multimedia message came.He opened it and saw a photo inside.Inside is the office building of the Blue Arrow Group that he is familiar with. At the door, a man in a suit is lying on the door of an Audi car. His painful expression can be clearly seen in the photo - this person is Lan Heng, the one next to him It was his assistant who panicked.

At this moment, Zhao Lianxing knew it was not a coincidence, it must be Yuan Fei's doing.It was precisely because of his manipulation that he was able to take this photo so accurately at this time and this place.

Sure enough, he just finished looking at the photos, and then received a text message: "How does Mr. Zhao feel?"

"Mr. Yuan—" Zhao Lianxing replied nervously, "What will happen next...?"

Yuan Fei replied quickly: "Don't worry, I can't be saved."

Can't save...

There is no one spotless in the business world. Zhao Lianxing has also hit many borderline shots and even hit out-of-bounds shots, but it is the first time for him to kill someone directly.At this moment, he suddenly regretted a little: "In fact, it is enough for him to lie in the hospital for a few more days."

Yuan Fei's text message was casual: "Didn't Mr. Zhao say that he wanted to do it once and for all?"

Yes, Zhao Lianxing did say that at the time.Thinking about it is also the same reason, Lan Heng is ten years younger than him, if he really recovers, there is still a chance to help Lan Jian up again, and even fight him again...

However, if Lan Heng died like this... Yuan Fei, how did he do it?Thinking of the mermaid meat that only existed in legends, Zhao Lianxing suddenly shivered in the warm car—Yuan Feineng attacked Lan Heng without anyone noticing, and if he turned back to attack him, he would attack him again. Can we guard against it?

"I'll send you the money as soon as I get back to the company." Zhao Lianxing hastily replied to the last text message, and put the phone back in his pocket.He was a little regretful, but he couldn't say it; he was a little scared, but he had nowhere to say it.

On the other end of the phone, Yuan Fei also stuffed his phone into his trouser pocket, frowning.Zhao Lianxing's reaction was different from what he expected, not happy, but regretful.

"Trouble!" Yuan Fei cursed in a low voice.Although he was sure that the hospital would not find anything abnormal about Lan Heng—the sores growing in the blood vessels of the brain could not be checked—but Zhao Lianxing's behavior might cause him trouble.If the old boy regrets it, will he be sold?

"Probably not." Yuan Fei thought for a while, and said to himself, "If he dares to betray me, he has to think more about himself and his son." He can kill Lan Heng, and of course he can also kill Zhao Lianxing.

Do you want to cooperate with another person?Yuan Fei thought about it and changed his mind.For this kind of thing, the more people you contact, the easier it is to make a mistake. It's better to catch Zhao Lianxing and cooperate alone.After all, he had already boarded the boat, so he couldn't allow him to go down casually.

Yuan Fei sneered from his nose.After a few more votes and enough money, Zhao Lianxing will send him abroad.For the sake of keeping his side clean, Zhao Lianxing will definitely take care of this matter.At least, Zhao Lianxing is easy to handle, and he is more at ease than Qi Tongmin!
